Live Like We’re Dying
Kris Allen
[Intro] Am C F C (Basically plays the entire song except for the chorus.)
[Verse 1]
Am C F C
Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
Am C F C
We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
Am C F C
How come we don’t say I love you enough
Am C F C
Till it’s too late, it’s not too late
[Verse 2]
Am C F C
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
Am C F C
We could make a feast from these crumbs
Am C F C
And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
Am C F C
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you would’ve done
[Pre-Chorus]
F G C/E F
Yeah… gotta start
[Chorus 1]
Looking at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin’ it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
[Chorus 2]
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
[Verse 3](Continued after the jump)
Well if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, there’ll be no one on the line
[Chorus 1]
Yeah… we gotta start lookin’ at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
This all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that’s tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
[Chorus 2]
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
[Bridge]
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
[Chorus 2]
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
[Bridge 2]
You never know a good thing until it’s gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when we’re dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till it’s gone
[Chorus]
Yeah… we gotta start lookin’ at the hand of the time we’ve been given here
this all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second count on a clock that’s tickin
Gotta live like we’re dying
[Chorus 2]
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
[Bridge]
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
Like we’re dying oh…
Like we’re dying
[Chorus 2]
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
to turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like we’re dying
